‘This increased funding would have a significant impact on the ability of provinces to provide quality health care services and respond to the strain on health care systems,’ said the closing statement Wednesday for the meeting of the Council of Atlantic Premiers

Atlantic premiers are making the case for additional health care funding from the federal government ahead of a meeting next month of all premiers and territorial leaders where the issue will be key to the agenda.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, chair of the Atlantic premiers council, hosted the meeting in Pictou, N.S. Present for the meeting were Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey, Dennis King of Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said earlier this year that discussion on the issue should wait until the pandemic is over. He has said the federal government has spent the past two years engaging directly with provinces and territories on funding for health in addition to the Canada Health Transfer, which is worth $43.1-billion this year.

I know ppl that have been waiting for doc apts in Labrador since Feb. I also know people who died bc of countless visits in a 3 year period & doc’s dismissing the same health problem every single time. We need more GOOD docs 😤. We also need equal access to major hospitals.

Poll: Did cannabis legalization increase emergency department wait times?

globepolitics Sounds good, but it better come with strings attached. I've had more than enough of watching Conservative premiers cry poor and then spend federal money earmarked for the pandemic or healthcare on reducing their deficits, or in the case of Ford, watching $4+ BILLION just vanish.
